+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #956192 +++
Description of problem:
Rendering of Text in Gnome-shell (and gedit) is broken. (May need to move bug
for harfbuzz or pango?). but working as expected with Search (with
gnome-shell), and Run dialog (Alt+f2)
example Text [क्रियाएँ]
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.5.3-2.fc19.noarch
gnu-free-sans-fonts-20120503-5.fc19.noarch
gnu-free-fonts-common-20120503-5.fc19.noarch
gnu-free-mono-fonts-20120503-5.fc19.noarch
gnu-free-serif-fonts-20120503-5.fc19.noarch
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login into Hindi Desktop
2. Check "Acitivies" Rendering
3. Copy (क्रियाएँ) Text
4. Paste in Gedit
5. Press Window (Super) Key and Paste Text in Search
6. Alt + F2 and paste Copied text
7. Run firefox and Paste copied text
Actual results:
Rendering is wrong in step 2 (gnome-shell), 4 (gedit),
Expected results:
Rendering is correct for Step 5, 6, 7
Additional info:
1. If remove gnu-free-* fonts from system, rendering is fine
2. Bug #918478 is already fixed, but still issue is there for Rendering.
Few more results from terminal on desktop

If it's not occurring everywhere, I'm not convinced the bug is with the fonts,
but with something farther down. Could you attach a screenshot(s) with
examples?

Screenshot for Issue
Blue Underline - Rendering is Correct
Red Underline - Rendering has issue
(sorry for delay in screenshot)

Alright, based on that I'm guessing harfbuzz.

Probably we should not be using GNU Free for Hindi then?
Alam: other Indic scripts/langs are not affected??
--- Additional comment from Jens Petersen on 2013-04-26 09:02:58 IST ---
Presumably switching gedit to Lohit Devanagari fixes the rendering there.

Presumably switching gedit to Lohit Devanagari fixes the rendering
there.
Actually doesn't seem to be any Preferences UI now in gedit.

FreeSans rendering issues with Harfbuzz NG
This is problem with FreeSans rather than Harfbuzz. Please check text
"प्रविण सातपुते क्षत्रिय क्रियांये " with Lohit Devanagari for correct
rendering.
Its probem with Rakara feature, if time permits i will provide patch for this.

I can confirm Punjabi (Gurmukhi) has issues, other Pravin can confirm.

pref for gedit
Please click (or right click) on gedit icon (which is close to Activities in
gnome-shell) and you can get preferences.

need to have similar recipe for FreeSans like this for FreeSerif:

Modified lohit devanagari conf file
After modifying lohit fontconf now i am getting
$fc-match serif:lang=hi
$fc-match sans-serif:lang=hi
$fc-match monospace:lang=hi
But still gnome-shell "activities" showing me FreeSans in output. Just
wondering from where it is coming.
